Thick fog blanketed the East China Sea.
A massive Qin fleet is advancing silently. One hundred new warships are spread out in a fan shape, like a giant fishing net, ready to reap the lives of people in this sea.
"Reporting to the Grand Commandant, Edo Bay is fifty li ahead."
The wicked man stood on the flagship's deck, his gaze sharp as lightning: "Order the entire army to prepare for battle! Remember, this is not an ordinary conquest; it is to wipe all of Japan from this land!"
Before he finished speaking, a fleet of ships suddenly appeared in the thick fog ahead.
That was Tokugawa's patrol fleet, about twenty warships. They clearly hadn't expected the Qin army to appear so suddenly, and were momentarily flustered.
"put!"
At a command, hundreds of rockets soared into the sky. This was a modified naval version of the "swarm," not only incredibly powerful but also capable of maintaining stability at sea.
A dense rain of arrows covered the entire sea surface. The Japanese wooden warships were instantly riddled with holes, and countless arrows carrying oil ignited the decks.
"Keep releasing them! Don't let a single ship escape!"
A new volley of arrows rained down. The warships that tried to escape hadn't gone far before they were struck by the arrows. Oil flowed down the arrows, turning the entire ships into giant torches.
"Casualty and injury statistics!"
"Reporting to the Grand Commandant, all twenty enemy ships have been sunk; not one escaped!"
The wicked man sneered, "Very well! Order the entire army to advance at full speed. We absolutely cannot let them get the message back!"
The fleet continued its advance and soon arrived outside Edo Bay.
The thick fog gradually dissipated, revealing the outline of the harbor. Dozens of Japanese warships were anchored there, completely unprepared.
"Prepare!" A cold glint flashed in the wicked man's eyes. "This Grand Commandant will show these Japanese devils what true hell is like!"
At his command, the Qin fleet split into three groups. The central force blocked the port, while the two flanks encircled the fleet, forming a massive encirclement.
"put!"
Instantly, thousands of rockets soared into the sky. Oil streaked through the air, turning the entire harbor into a sea of fire. The anchored warships had no time to react before being engulfed in flames.
Even more terrifying was the specially made Greek fire. The jets on the Qin warships sprayed this terrible liquid, which would ignite an unquenchable fire wherever it landed.
"Kill! Leave no one alive!"
Qin warships swarmed ashore. Those Japanese ships attempting to escape the harbor were immediately covered by a dense rain of arrows. Oil flowed down the arrows, turning the sea red.
"This is...this is terrifying!" a captured Japanese man said, trembling. "I've never seen such a weapon before..."
"Ha!" the wicked man sneered. "This is just the beginning. Order the entire army to launch a landing operation! This Grand Commandant will make these Japanese remember this day forever!"
As the warships docked, the Qin army surged onto the beach like a tidal wave. They not only brought a swarm of soldiers, but also carried a large amount of oil.
"Kill! Kill them all without mercy!"
The Qin army split into several groups and advanced into the city. Whenever they encountered resistance, a volley of arrows rained down. Those who tried to hide were dragged out and executed on the spot.
"No! We surrender..."
A group of Japanese knelt and begged for mercy, only to be hacked to death by the Qin army. The wicked ruler had given orders: this time, the goal was not conquest, but a complete purge!
The fire quickly spread throughout the entire city.
The streets were littered with corpses, and blood flowed like rivers. Those who tried to escape were caught and slaughtered, regardless of age or gender.
"Ah! Help!"
Screams of agony filled the air. The Qin army, like vengeful demons, slaughtered anyone in sight. Warriors who tried to resist were riddled with arrows, and civilians who had hidden were dragged out and massacred one by one.
By evening, the entire city had become a living hell.
"Take a headcount!"
"Reporting to the Grand Commandant, in this battle, over 30,000 enemy soldiers were annihilated. All warships in the port were sunk, and not a single survivor remained in the city!"
The wicked man nodded in satisfaction: "Very good! But this is only the beginning. Order the entire army to continue advancing towards the next objective! This Grand Commandant will turn all of Japan into a wasteland!"
As night fell, the Qin army's warships raised their sails once more.
Their target this time is Osaka. The main force of another island lord is concentrated there, making it the perfect opportunity to wipe them all out in one fell swoop!
"Reporting to the Grand Commandant, the wind direction is excellent; if we sail with the wind, we should arrive by dawn!"
"Keep moving!" the wicked man sneered. "These Japanese think they're safe hiding in the strait. Little do they know, this sea is about to become their burial ground!"
At dawn the next day, the Qin fleet appeared outside Osaka Port.
The Japanese were well-prepared this time, with hundreds of warships lined up in battle array, ready to meet the enemy. They had clearly received news from Edo and were determined to fight to the death.
"Grand Commandant, should we use fire arrows first...?"
"No!" the wicked man interrupted, "This time, we'll use Greek fire! Let these Japanese devils see what real hell is like!"
At his command, the specially designed jets began to unleash their power.
The terrible liquid sprayed onto the enemy ship and immediately ignited a raging fire. No method could extinguish it, and it quickly turned the entire ship into a giant torch.
"Keep spraying!" the wicked man roared. "Don't let a single one escape! This Grand Commandant will make sure this sea area remembers today's lesson forever!"
The fire illuminated the entire sea surface in a fiery red.
Countless Japanese ships struggled in the flames, but could not escape. Those who jumped into the sea to save their lives had not swum far before they were shot dead by the Qin army who were waiting for them.
"Kill! Charge into the port!"
The Qin warships surged forward, turning the harbor into a sea of fire. Those warships still on the shore were engulfed by the Greek fire before they could even set out.
